Artillery is the worst! next to a 454 casul in a indoor Range even the muffs have to be good. I would rep ya but all out of bullets lol!The guns I referred to varied from .22LR to 155mm....

Imo, the 106mm "recoilless rifle" makes worse noice than any artillery - that's a really bad one!

I would say the loudest thing ive heard is a shotgun fired in a building!
I finally got around to put the "Andy muffler" on the MS361 last saturday, after harvesting some wood the day before.
After a good warm-up session, before and after cuts were made in 11 and 14" birch, and my counting (no stop-watch or video) indicate a 10-15 percent speed gain.
The cuts were made with a 15" bar, 36RSC, 8-pin rim, at 14500rpm WOT settings.
I experiensed little or no sound gain - which is a bit surpricing.....
I'd been waiting on that news for quite some time
I am not a fan of modded saws in general, mainly because of the increased noise level. But now you got my attention !! 
Maybe I need to get hold of Lake in a hurry, don't know if he's still in retirement mode...

Nice to get out again and cut some wood, eh?
I had not used much .325" chain in the past and did not have fond memories of it. When I got my 346, I was set on switching it over to 3/8th, but got a couple loops of 21lp to try it out. I am totally satisfied with it. My saw has about 10 tanks of use, another port cut in the muffler, and tuned to about the same as yours or slightly higher rpm. What a nice machine!! I can really get in the limbing zone with it, although it bucks bigger stuff nicely too.
The saw is a really nice one, as is the 21LP chain - perfect combo imo!

I remember this being a conversation starter from Andy a few years ago, I didn't realise that it had turned into such a marathon thread, wow.
I take it that it has got cold up there a few times since the question was asked.
